Jesus said,
"No-one who sets his hand to
the plough and then keeps turning
back
is fit for the Kingdom of God."
Luke
9:50
Why should any child of the Father
who has known the reality of His
love turn in his tracks or cease
following in the way? Yet many do
through unwillingness to accept
the discipline essential for progress,
or through sloth or self-will. And
some few who are called to special
work in the Father's children, though
bestowed with all that is necessary
to carry it through, look fearfully
at the depth of the waters beneath,
and their faith fails them.
Let no-one who commits their way
to the Father in My saving love
and in the power of Our Holy Spirit
doubt that all is well for them
and for that which they are given
to undertake. Let no anxious thoughts
deflect their following in the way
that is being opened up before them.
But let them know and understand,
in the deepest parts of their mind
and spirit, that their progression
in that which they are given to
do and suffer must be matched with
ever-increasing commitment to the
Father's loving purpose and deepened
and more disciplined life in Me
through the light and power of Our
Holy Spirit.
